From Patagonia, I�ve purchased Capilene bodywear, Synchilla jackets and outer shells for mountaineering. The most versatile clothing has been the Capilene and Synchilla clothing when used as the inner layers. I like Patagonia�s outerwear for skiing and hiking. However, I believe that its synthetic shells are too noisy for stalking game.

Patagonia has excellent service. I�ve purchased factory seconds at a discount by calling the factory store, providing my size and waiting for a call back when the item is available.

I appreciate Patagonia�s environmentalism if that is the image we are perceiving. Even hunting areas need to be preserved for our children to enjoy.
